Beware for the Day of the Lord is at hand

Zephaniah 1:7 - Hold thy peace at the presence of the Lord GOD: for the day of the LORD is at hand: for the LORD hath prepared a sacrifice, he hath bid his guests.

Looking at the things happening many are thinking that the Judgment Day is at hand. They are right in some sense but they have mistaken of the Day. There are two days which are important:

   1) The Day of the Lord (also called the Day of the Lord's Sacrifice or the Day of the Lord's Revenge)
   2) The Day of Judgment (when the Jesus Christ comes back again and the world ends)

Like the scripture says we are not to be joyful about the Day of the Lord, for it is a day of darkness, a day of great shaking. All those are truly in the Lord are going to shine bright and those who are half in and half out and misrepresent the Lord are going to see the worst.

This Day is so important that a large portion of the Bible warns about this day. The true Church - the real people of God suffered for a long time and soon the Lord is going to revenge it. This Day is going to bring about a great change that has never been seen. The true people of God are going to shine bright so much that all people are going to be very afraid of them, for every word prophesized by them will manifest in the physical.

It is time the world sees who God is and who people of God really are. Like during Moses days when the Israelites carried the Ark of Covenant, no army dared to face them; if they did they were destroyed. So also when we truly carry our Cross no being (man or spirit) can stop us or harm us.

Even if we do not see the Day of the Lord, our children will surely see it. So let us prepare ourselves, them and others; that they shine and not suffer.

Please take this message very, very seriously so that you do not wakeup too late since the dark clouds are move in. What we are seeing is not even the start of what is to come.


[ Prayer Starter ]

Lord God, You are slow to anger, but You never forget the cries of your people. When You revenge your people, the whole world will tremble. Lord, You have made us at a time when we will be witness to this event or the coming of this event. We pray Lord that we, our children and all our beloved are on the side of light and safe from your wrath. I make this prayer in Jesus' Name, Amen.

Zephaniah 1:1-18
1 The word of the LORD which came unto Zephaniah the son of Cushi, the son of Gedaliah, the son of Amariah, the son of Hizkiah, in the days of Josiah the son of Amon, king of Judah.
2 I will utterly consume all things from off the land, saith the LORD.
3 I will consume man and beast; I will consume the fowls of the heaven, and the fishes of the sea, and the stumblingblocks with the wicked; and I will cut off man from off the land, saith the LORD.
4 I will also stretch out mine hand upon Judah, and upon all the inhabitants of Jerusalem; and I will cut off the remnant of Baal from this place, and the name of the Chemarims with the priests;
5 And them that worship the host of heaven upon the housetops; and them that worship and that swear by the LORD, and that swear by Malcham;
6 And them that are turned back from the LORD; and those that have not sought the LORD, nor enquired for him.
7 Hold thy peace at the presence of the Lord GOD: for the day of the LORD is at hand: for the LORD hath prepared a sacrifice, he hath bid his guests.
8 And it shall come to pass in the day of the LORD'S sacrifice, that I will punish the princes, and the king's children, and all such as are clothed with strange apparel.
9 In the same day also will I punish all those that leap on the threshold, which fill their masters' houses with violence and deceit.
10 And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the LORD, that there shall be the noise of a cry from the fish gate, and an howling from the second, and a great crashing from the hills.
11 Howl, ye inhabitants of Maktesh, for all the merchant people are cut down; all they that bear silver are cut off.
12 And it shall come to pass at that time, that I will search Jerusalem with candles, and punish the men that are settled on their lees: that say in their heart, The LORD will not do good, neither will he do evil.
13 Therefore their goods shall become a booty, and their houses a desolation: they shall also build houses, but not inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, but not drink the wine thereof.
14 The great day of the LORD is near, it is near, and hasteth greatly, even the voice of the day of the LORD: the mighty man shall cry there bitterly.
15 That day is a day of wrath, a day of trouble and distress, a day of wasteness and desolation, a day of darkness and gloominess, a day of clouds and thick darkness,
16 A day of the trumpet and alarm against the fenced cities, and against the high towers.
17 And I will bring distress upon men, that they shall walk like blind men, because they have sinned against the LORD: and their blood shall be poured out as dust, and their flesh as the dung.
18 Neither their silver nor their gold shall be able to deliver them in the day of the LORD'S wrath; but the whole land shall be devoured by the fire of his jealousy: for he shall make even a speedy riddance of all them that dwell in the land.

Revelation 2:9-17
9 And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held:
10 And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?
11 And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled.
12 And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood;
13 And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind.
14 And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places.
15 And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains;
16 And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb:
17 For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?

The Word of God was given free to us, therefore we should also share it freely with others. (All rights are with God)
